這一切學習看似很傻，但對比當前自己的成長和蛻變都是令人雀躍驚喜的。『風平浪靜訓練不出好舵手』；勇於承擔，也帶來快速成長。一步步踏實累積的結果，帶動自己性格上的陽光溫暖，領導力的訓練提升，讓自己在時間管理、家庭事業更能妥善安排規劃。
當失敗挫折來臨的時候，我不再是那個怪別人，過錯全推給別人的我。我更懂得合作，願意承擔。
常常提醒自己『看看別人，想想自己』；『三人行必有我師』。警惕自己不可成為一個言語的巨人，行動的侏儒。工作來了自己慣性的躲閃推，一開始看起來很幸福，但是一年年時間過去了，自己可能仍是沒有成長的樣子。
各位演講會的好朋友們，我們都選擇一條看似艱辛的道路，承擔丶合作丶不找理由做事的一群人。
我們的身上有一股脫俗的氣質，喜歡幫助人，喜歡學習。這樣的氣質，不是金錢所能夠買到的，因為我們是Toastmasters。感謝孕育培養我近20年的演講會，讓我一點一滴養成好的觀念和態度，永遠有大師可以學習。
謹向所有努力認真的演講會會友致敬。
A Journey to Learn And Serve
Joining Toastmasters 18 years ago, I started my lifelong learning
process. Deciding to run and serve as a member of the Trio 3 years ago,
I started my service leadership journey.
There are many choices in our life and the choices are related to one’s
value and ideas. I thought myself to be a smart person, so I often tried
to escape from reality, picked the easiest things to do, and the ones
that required the least amount of effort.
Many years passed before I realized that I was like a frog, living at
the bottom of a well, happy, and proud, but isolated from the real
world.
Joining Toastmasters gave me the chance to explore a whole new world. I
could get along with a group of individuals who were devoted and
actively learning. I chose challenging paths to work on, which required
me to work hard and overcome the pressure and nervousness of speaking on
stage.
It also included leading a group of excellent leaders from all walks of
life and being tested to our limits.
The result was encouraging. As the sayings go, “A calm sea trains no
good sailors”. “Look at others, think about oneself.”, and “3 people
together, there must be one who can be our teacher.” I didn’t want
myself to only talk the talk, but to also walk the walk. When work
comes, escaping from it feels
great in the beginning, but overtime there’s
a realization of being idle and not growing.
Fellow Toastmasters, we all choose a seemingly challenging path, a path
of duties, cooperation, and hard work. We are helpful, loving, and the
desire to learn. We, Toastmasters, have the above traits and these
traits can’t be
bought with money.
Thank you to this great organization that has cultivated me for almost
20 years and help me become the person I am today. There’s
always someone who I can learn from.
A toast to all the hardworking Toastmaster!
